Pioneers In Your Attic -- Free Scanning Event

Utah Valley University Library is partnering with other libraries in Utah to help create a freely accessible online collection of original pioneer-era manuscripts. “Pioneers in Your Attic: Preserving the Legacy of the Overland Migration” is a regional digital project where UVU's Sutherland Archives staff, in partnership with local libraries and museums, is attempting to locate, digitize and provide free worldwide access to privately owned letters, diaries, photographs and other materials from the 1842-1869 time period. They hope to discover these items from local citizens at several free "scanning events" throughout the area.
